Support NeoGAF

[Tubie]

I'm sure Blizzard has learned their lesson and this launch will go with zero server issues.

Where is the countdown clock?!

http://isoverwatchoutyet.com/

 

[ant_]

Remember that your main job is to apply pressure while keeping the enemy off you teammates. Your leap allows you to kill snipers/healers/genji fairly easily but your damage output it only about average so don't be expecting to get any offense/tank hero kills without dying. Fortunately your leap recharges super fast so it's easy to get out of bad situations.

Your barrier is a great multitool. You can use it to protect healers/sentries, or use it offensively and weave through it to block enemy bullets at close combat.

with your ult you really shouldn't ever be getting kills unless theres a healer with low health or their's enemies standing near a ledge. It's main purpose is disruption.
Here's one of my favourite strategies with it: If the clock is in overtime and your one of the last ones pushing defending the payload, pop ult, then attack a bit, jump STRAIGHT up, attack a bit, jump again, and repeat. It's hard to keep track of where you are this way and you'll constantly reset the timer.

Thank you (and everyone else who responded). I was playing him completely differently and I think this playstyle makes much more sense. I think Blizzard's "roles", while helpful, may be misleading for certain characters' playstyles. Symmetra suffers from this too.

So it's pretty crucial to swap characters is it? I never really bothered with it in the Beta, and mostly stuck with the same character. I guess it's time to git gud with multiple characters.

 

[Tecnniqe]

Wow some people in the Discord are really good at talking shit behind peoples backs :|

Don't think they all know it stores a copy of everything on a server but some is impressive.

Be it how we get it or not I dont see why we should accept a compromise on something that plays into the gameplay like this.

But whatever.

That article is so much more interesting than it has any right to be. It's fun to take a more nuanced stance on the subject than "lol porn."

Kotaku published a good article on SFM porn (specifically Studiofow's efforts) a while back.

Edit: Here it is

59 pages later and I can't find myself on there.

It's fine though.

'cause I'm a one-man hype train. LEZ GO.

makes me lol that for some reason i'm the only untouched avatar on there

The hype is real

 

[Xamtheking]

Man, I love all of you naïve people thinking Overwatch will release on time, with the servers being stable, if Hearthstone is anything to go by.

 

[Feral Gingy]

Btw how much options are there for PS4/XBO in terms of FoV and such? DOOM is great for having lots of options like that.

 

[Shifty]

...Fuck.

Spoiler

It's cool, you can come too.

Should be fine in EU... Good luck to people who plays on US servers !

 

[Nesmaster75]

Just got my physical CE in the mail for PC & redeemed the game code on the battlenet site, but I noticed the Bnet desktop app acts like I still haven't purchased the game and is even asking me to pre-order. Do I just wait for it to auto download? Sorry for the dumb question, never really played a game through this launcher before.

EDIT: Nvm, it auto updated the game after like 20 min of putting in the code on the website.

I will repay in Bastion PotGs

 

[EroticSushi]

Saw this posted on reddit. Pretty neat website to check out if you want to see stats for all the characters.

Shows you cooldown timer, rate of fire, dps, range, ammo, radius, etc for all aspects of a character.

OW Infinity

 

[The Flash]

I got this.

 

[Sölf]

My CD code just arrived. Game is installed, but since itr will be like 1 AM or something similar in the EU, I will probably only play it tomorrow at the earliest.

I read it and it still is "lol porn". I personally have no problem with porn related to IPs I like, it would just be nice to not have people posting it or openly talking about it on a supposedly SFW site (NeoGAF). Also, I don't get what is the big deal with Overwatch porn in itself, every popular IP, new or not, has a lot of pornographic content on the internet. Take Splatoon and/or Undertale as examples. What is so special about Overwatch porn?

Wow some people in the Discord are really good at talking shit behind peoples backs :|

Wouldn't be surprised if some here are talking shit about me, as I have a negative view on their bullshit waifu culture. It is really sad those people are part of the OW community.

 

[Feltrol]

Can someone make me a pharah avatar please

This is the biggest revival of a meme I've ever seen. I know it's old, then it kinda disappeared until just recently.

[Shifty]

Of course, I'm not averse to a bit of mid-match Pharah switching.

Added myself to the spreadsheet earlier. I should give the Discord channel a look.
